Blue Moon
VERSE
Once upon a time
Before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight!
Shadows of the night
That poets find beguiling
Seemed flat as the noon light.
With no one to stay up for,
I went to sleep at ten.
Life was a bitter cup for
The saddest of all women then.
Blue Moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.
Blue Moon,
You knew just what I was there for,
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for.
BRIDGE
And then there suddenly appeared before me,
The only one my arms will ever hold.
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me."
And when I looked,
The moon had turned to gold!
Blue Moon,
Now I'm no longer alone,
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
